BfA Fishing Leveling Guide 1 - 175

This Battle for Azeroth Fishing leveling guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level BfA Fishing from 1 to 175.

Fishing skill doesn't have any effect on how many fish you catch in the new Battle for Azeroth zones. You will catch the same number of fishes with Fishing skill 1, as with Fishing skill 175. The only reason to level Fishing is for Achievements. If you just simply want to farm fish, then you can go and farm with Fishing 1.

Learning BfA Fishing

The new BfA Fishing skill is named differently for the two factions, but the name is the only difference between them.

[Kul Tiran Fishing] is the Alliance version and [Zandalari Fishing] is the Horde version.

Fishing Trainers:

• Horde: You can find Silent Tali in the northern part of Dazar'alor.
• Alliance: Alan Goyle is located north of the main group of trainers in the Tradewinds Market district of Boralus, sitting on decking by a pool.

You can walk up to a guard in Dazar'alor or Boralus then ask where the Fishing trainer is located. This will place a red marker on your map at the trainer's location.

BfA Fish

Fishes no longer come from one specific zone. Instead, you can find 3 types of fish in the Kul Tiras zones, 3 in the Zandalar zones, 2 in Nazjatar, 1 in Mechagon, 2 in the new patch 8.3 zones, and you can fish 2 in all zones.

Leveling BfA Fishing

You can only level your BfA Fishing at Zandalar, Kul Tiras, Nazjatar, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and Uldum, you won't gain BfA Fishing skill if you fish elsewhere.

You can skill up your fishing from 1 to 175 in any fishable water in the listed zones above. Go to the nearest water, find the fishing skill icon in your spell book (P) at the profession tab, drag this icon to somewhere on your action bar. Stand in front of the lake/river and press the fishing button. Mouse over the lure in the water, and when it splashes, right-click on it.

If you start from BfA Fishing skill 1, you need to catch around 300 Fish to reach 175, which takes around 2-3 hours.
